You guys seem to want to lay the blame on Mormons, whereas I see the blame lies on Utanhs in general.

(Of whom about 60% are Mormon!)

Neither of your explanations make any sense to me. Non-Mormon Utahns have a higher foreclosure rate than Mormon.

Uh, slightly higher.

So, "math class" if I tell you:

X & Y are very low #s (high foreclosure rates even in Utah are just over 4 per 1,000 -- just over .4% per year)
and: X is a "slightly higher" number than Y -- IOW, one might be .43 and the .40
and then ask you, which of the following are higher,
60 x Y...(like 60 x .40)
...or 40 x X...(like 40 x .43)
Which number will be higher???

How 'bout understanding it now?

I truly don't think you understand my contention.

You happily quoted:

"various commentators pinned the blame on Mormon religious and cultural practices"

I questioned why if non-Mormons are the worse offenders, are "Mormon religious and cultural practices" to blame.

So no--I don't understand why you claim Mormons are the reason non-Mormons have higher foreclosure rates.
